that come to life in his capable hands, Davy is at once a witty, thoughtful, and engaging stage presence.   Shawn brings a rock solid thump and nearly two decades of performing experience to the trio, informed by a wide spectrum of unique rhythmic and melodic sensibilities ranging from rockabilly to reggae to jazz.  In their able hands, these three veteran musicians have catapulted Heather's live performances of her deep well of Americana originals - folk, jazz, blues - with intricate instrumental arrangements and stirring three-part vocal harmonies.   The title track from the trio’s debut EP, Still She Will Fly,  was the #2 single on the Folk radio charts for 2015, and three other songs were also in the Top 100 singles on Folk radio in 2015.  Their full-length debut, Singin’, was released last year and debuted at #1 on the Folk radio charts.
